TBM means tunnel boring machine.
TBM, The full name is Tunnel Boring Machine, which is a specialized engineering machinery used for tunnel excavation in rock formations. The following is a detailed explanation about TBM:
The specific meaning of TBM
TBM is a large-scale construction machinery that integrates mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, laser and other technologies. TBM plays an extremely important role in modern tunnel construction, especially in hard rock formations. It can continuously break rocks and quickly complete tunnel excavation work, greatly improving the efficiency of tunnel construction.
Working principle of TBM
The working principle of TBM is mainly to break rocks through its cutting device. These cutting devices include cutterheads, cutting tools, etc., which can handle rocks of different hardness. During the excavation process, TBM will also cooperate with auxiliary devices such as support systems and transportation systems to ensure the stability of the tunnel and the safety of construction.
